How long should you cook grill chicken breasts bone in?

Grill time will vary based on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. As a general guide, bone-in chicken breasts should be cooked over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit as measured by a meat thermometer.

When grilling bone-in chicken breasts, it is important to start with chicken breasts that are of a similar size so that they cook evenly. You can also pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.

Brush the chicken breasts with oil before grilling to help prevent them from sticking to the grill grate. You can also season the chicken breasts with your favorite seasonings before grilling.

To check if the chicken breasts are done cooking, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. This will help keep the chicken breasts moist and tender.
